GALVESTON, Tex, June pa dispatch
from Eagle Pass to the NslUs says: Intellia
gence was received here at a late hour last
night that a sanguinary conflict was in
progress between the river
guards and smugglers at a
point fifteen miles below Piedras Negras, in
Mexico. The conflict is still in progress. A
scouting party Of river guards and police
numbering twenty-five men surprised a
band of twenty smugglers we'll
armed, with a caValcade of twenty packed
mules. The 5mugglers at once showed
light and at the first vOley two of the guards
fell dead and four had their horses killed IN
der them. The guards then fell back
and dispatched a courier 10 Piedras Negras
for reinfOrcements. In the meantime the
smuggiers fell back toward the Rio Grande
with the evident purpose Of crossing the
from which they were distant
about eight miles. The smuggler5 in their
retreat are keeping up desultOry sklr-
mish with the reinforced guards,
who are harassing them in rear.
When 1t became apparent that the design of
contrabandists was to seek refuge on
American soil the Mexican authorities mott
fed Collector ThreIkeld, who dis
patched posse OF mounted
inspectors from this city to intercept
them. A brisk fight is anticipated. A Mex
lean guard who arrived in Piedras Negras
late this evening from the scene of action,
reports the fight still in progress and one or
more guards killed. The loss Of the SNUG
glers IS unknown.

Sparks Smells Another Land Fraud and
Makes an Order.

Sparks Smells Another Land Fraud and
Makes an Order.
WASHINGTON, D. O., June 25.-Commis-
sioner Sparks, Of the general land Office,
to-day took the necessary preliminary steps
to cancel ffty-five desert land entries in
Wyoming Territory, aggregating IN area
Of about 900 acres. The commissioner,
in his letter to the register and receiver at
Cheyenne, states that the final proof in
all Of these cases Is substantially
the same, and is to the effect that by means
Of bitches already constructed an ample
supply Of water is at hand TO properly irri-
gate the land, that the claimants own the
right to water thus secured and have never
parted with their interests thus reclaimed
and have never agreed to do 50. A special
agent of the land Office. upon investigation
reports as follows:
Upon a majority of the entries no bitches
that would carry water have ever been built,
while the few bitches that have
actually been constructed have
never been utilized A survey of one large
and several natural bitches was made and
a pillow furrOW made IN many places to show
the line of the survey, but no actual bOnatide
dItchlng was ever done by the claimants nor
by any one Of them. All the d1tchlng that
ever was done was of the most shadOWy kind
and was not substantially useful, and not
intended to be so. The lane
has not been reclaimed nor irrigated to the
Elg4IeSE degrees IN any one OF the uIEy-IlFB
cases enumerated, and was at the date of the
investigation IL the condition at the time
entry was made. ''Ihe Goshen Hole Ditch
ing Co. 'and Union Canal Co." are kindred
corporations doing business in the territory
of Wyoming, and the officers of the latter
are also officers and incOrpOratOrs of the
former" The ditching company had in
hand for itself and the canal company the
construction of a system Of bitches
with which to iErigitate these entries
but at only one point along the whole line,
thirty-five or forty miles, has the ditch ever
been constructed so as to be capable of car
utilized" ''What was done was at the in
stance Of the president Of the Goshen Hole
Ditching company and an officer Of the
''UniOn Canal company" while each
entry stands alone on the books there is a
connection between them all and 1t lies in
the fact that it was made in the
interest of one of the companies or
some of the officers or members thereof. -
''Of the fifty-five entrymen seven live in
Wyoming, seven in New Jersey, thirty IN
New York and eleven in Massachusetts. IN
spectOr Bowers went to New
York, New Jersey and Massachusetts
and interviewed a number of the
entrymen. The information he gained
shows that Sturgis procured the making of
entries. These foreign entrymen made the
entries merely 'tO Obhge a friend" and
never considered that they actually had any
interest in the lands nor have they ever had
any individual water rights.

DUBLIN, June 27.-The citizens committee
have completed their arrangements to receive
Princes Albert Victor and George of Wales,
who will arrive here this afternoon. The
corporation council of Dublin viii hold alOOt
from participation IN the celebration. Bust
ness is conducted as usual, and Dublin does
not seem TO be taking much OF holiday
over the arrival of the princes. There Is,
however, sufficient display of bunting IN the
streets and of hustle among the lOyaIlsts to
indicate that there is public interest IN the
event. The weather IS brilliant. A military
escort and a number of crown officials and
prominent people are at klngstOWn awaiting
the arrival of the princes. Several steamers
have gone down the bay to meet and escort
the royal boat.
LATER.-Ihe princes arrived at k1ngstoWn
at the appointed hour, and were received
with great enthusiasm. The marquis of
Londonderry, Irish vicercy, met them and
the town commissioners presented them with
an address.
The princes then proceeded to Dublin.
Upon their arrival there they were presented
with an address of welcome by conservative
citizens. One of the sentiments expressed
IN this address was as follows: Eve welcome
the grandsOns of her majesty the queen,
under whom Ireland has enjoyed the bless
ings of Just laws, true liberty and cOnstitu-
tiOnal government" Prince Albert Victor
responded to the address and then he and
his brother, with their party and escort,
proceeded to the vice regal lodge. During
the journey of the princes through the
streets of Dublin there was much cheering
by the crowds, some cries OF coercion, u
and occasional cheering for Parnel.

MILWAUKEE, WIS, June 27.-Fire almost
swept the town of Marshfield out of exist
ence this afternoon and 1000 people are
homeless. The loss is not less than 81, co.,
600. All communication by wire
is cut of and it is almost
impossible to learn particulars. A lOcOmO=
tive spark started a blaze at noon in the
lumber yard of the Upham furniture fac
tory and it rapidly developed into a roaring
fire that spread toward the town. Insuf-
6cient fire protection facilities prevented any
resistance to the flames and soon several
fourishing factories, the business blocks
along the main street, and adjoining res
licences, were wrapped in flames. The
people gathered such household effects
as they could and fed to the woods.
Aut one store and few half burned houses,
remain of the tiOurishing town. Many peO-
pie were transferred by specials to neigh
boring towns and others compel on the out
skirts of the town. Among
the buildings that were destroyed
were wooden ware factory
the grist mill, saw mill and factory of the
Upham Manufacturing company. The Ire
mont and several minor hotels and ware
houses along the Wisconsin Central, its de
pot, four churches and the entire business
centre. The insurance Is less than One-hfth
of the loss.

NEW York. June 25.-The Times says:
''People do not credit all statements made
by the Gould crowd yesterday. Gould and
Sage called loans by wholesale. They did
their level best to corner money and they
tumbled basketsful Of stocks on the market.
The break was of their own designing. 1t
was their own Western Union and Missouri
Pacific and Manhattan that they used
to slug the market with, and if they were
not cunning after Cyrus Field every indica-
ton seemingly worthy OF attention IS al!
wrong. Gould and Sage do not love Field. 3"
Field is loaded heavily with Manhattan.
Gould has been a lOaner Of money to Henry
S. Ives. He called $8,OOO,OO0 yesterday,
though Gould has been advertised a good deal
lately as a partner OF Ives. Jesse S6l8Enan
says that gold is on its way here from Eu-
rope and that tight money Is no longer a
danger. Other bankers with foreign con
nectIOns gave Mr.. SelIgman's opinion and
endorsement. Russell Sage and Jay Gould
slaughtered every one of their friends as
their hangers-On have leave TO label them
selves. Jay Gould offers as an excuse for
his wholesale collecting Of loans that he
thought stocks we're cheap and he could use
his money TO better advantage In the market
than IN loans.

anticipation of this action, as to facilitate
their payment. The effect viii be to release

liar action heretofore has been taken by the
department Whenever occasion demanded,
but 1t sometimes happened that authority
for their payment before maturity was with
held.

@. Dake, o. B. Morrison and Charles Nc
Arthur, of Dake, Col, for violating the law

A BRIEF PANIC.


The RumOred Death OF Jay Gould Sets
Wall Street Wild With EEcitsment.
NEW YORz, June p y m.-There is great
excitement at the stock exchange and prices
are declining.
1905 p. MT is understood that the
| break was caused by a report that Jay Gould
was dead. Western Union dropped from
IS to 68 per cent, but Is now recovering.
Gould is at his Office but refuses TO see re-
pOrters.
1910 p. m.-The furry seems to be over,as
the whole list is moving up TO the former
figures.
1870 p. ma reporter of the Associated
Press just saw Mr.. Gould in his Office and
Mr.. Gould furnished him with tn following;
40 John J. Herman:
The bulletin you are putting
out that my Manhattan stock is in loan
Is q malicious falsehOOd. No share of Man
haitian Is IN loan or has had my name on the
! back nor do owe a dollar in the world. You
should promptly contradict.
Yours truly, JAY GOULD"
Mr.. Gould said further that the story that
ne and Cyrus w. Field had quarreled was
untrue. and that he and Mr.. Field were as
good friends as ever. The rumor that Mr.
Field is IN trouble Is also grOundless.
The excitement reached its greatest
height shortly before noon, and veritable
panic was developed. No attention was
paid by brokers to fractions In sales made
by them and fluctuations were SO wild that
sales were sometimes from to 80 per cent
apart. Stocks bought near the opening
were thrown over when the break occurred,
and this selling completely demOralized
spectators. Marking down of loans and
delivery of orders kept the clerks and mes
sengers fully as busy as the brokers and the
street was a scene of more excite
ment than has been witnessed since the panic
IN May 1885. The greater declines so far
reached are, Manhattan 4O15 to 116; Mis-
souri, Pacific IL to 935[ cotton seed Z TO 80:
Richmond terminal ~ to 26; New England
to 455[, and Lake Erie d Western to $50.
12:45 2. m.-MOnsy is 3-l6M15 per cent
per diem, bat Russell Sage is quoted as say
ing that money viii be easier from this time
on Stocks continue to advance slightly,
Notwithstanding the heavy rate for money.
The excitement on the stock board seems to
have died out and things are quieting down
rapidly.
Increased short interest saved the room
from a money panic by its demand for
stocks for delivery, and s. v. White and
some other large operators entered the mar
ket and began buying freely. They soon
gathered a large following and buying
turned the market almost as rapidly as it
had fallen and stocks took a long jump
back to their former prices. Manhattan re-
covered 20 per cent Of its loss and other
stocks generally recovered about half of the
decline recorded. No failures We're an
nOunced as the result Of the break.

THE OTHER SIDE
The Land Grant Railroads Enter Strong
Protests Against the Orders Withdraw

The Land Grant Railroads Enter Strong
Protests Against the Orders Withdraw
ing Their Lands.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 27.-The secre-
tary Of the interior has received answers
from ali the land grant railroads named
in his rule dated May o, 1887, requiring
them TO show cause on or before June p,
1887, why the several orders Of withdrawal
from settlements Of lands within their in
demnity limits should not be revoked and
land restored to settlement. The st. Paul
& Sioux City Railway company IN its ans
Wer takes the position that IL is under the
power and the jurisdiction of the secretary
of the interior as the law stood TO restore to
settlement any lands IN the indemnity limits
OF that company but certainly not until grant
shall have first been finally adjusted. 1t holds
that so far as indemnity lands are concerned
the acts OF 1857, 1864 and 1865 being IN pari-
mHterl, the last amendatOry OF the earlier
grants and all operating upon precisely the
same subject matter, that Is, to stay on Sc
lection of indemnity lands, stand and must
be construed together as one enactment and
into that Is entirely incorporated the di-
vision which congress saw mt to enact
IN the act of March 3, 1860, VIZ:
Direction to the secretary of the interior
TO withdraw from the market land en-
braced by the provisions of the act, and
hence 1t follows that the withdrawal OF all
the indemnity lands within twenty miles Of
the road was a legislative withdrawal, that
when the secretary of the Interior issued the
necessary executive or administrative order
TO carry that withdrawal into effect
he exhausted all powers of
the land department over the
subject. That the public lands of the
United States are only dispOsable under the
direction of congress. 1t refuses legislation
by that body before its actions dedicating
the land IN question TO particular purpose
can be repeated modified OF
set aside and that congress
not having repealed its legislation
with regard to the grant, any attempt on the
part of the executive officer in the way Of
the revocation of the act of his predecessor
is in opposition to the direction of congress.

TO THEREsCUE
For Once Commissioner Sparks has a Sen.
sfbIe Idea

For Once Commissioner Sparks has a SEN
sible idea.
WAsHNGTON, D. c., June 24-Commis-
sioner Sparks reported to the secretary Of
the interior the case of W. NJ. MatIock, a
settler nKansas on land within the indemnity
limits Of the Missouri, Kansas 81 Texas rail-
road, who settled in 1896, before the railroad
withdrawal was made, but who was prevent
ed from putting his claim on record IN the
local land Office by erroneous advice of the
register Of the United States land Office, who
was at the same time an
official of the railroad company. When he
subsequently applied to enter he was told
that the lands were Withdrawn for tine rail
road. In 1873 the tract occupied by Mat
lock was patented to the railroad company,
but he remained on the land and Is there
yet, having made it his home with ms fam
ny for more than twenty years. during
which time it has become a farm worth So
800. The railroad company attempted to
GUST him by proceedings in the district
court of the state but the court
decided IN favor Of the settler, whereupOn
the railroad company appealed
20 the supreme court of the state.
The settler then applied to the department
OF the interior for relief from the persecu-
tons of the railroad company, stating that
he was unable to defend his claim through
all the courts. Commissioner Sparks
recommends to the secretary that
suit be at once brought to
set aside the railroad patent
and that the United States attorney
be instructed through the department. Of
Justice to appear in the state supreme court
and advise the court of such action and to
take such steps and file such motions as may
be necessary to protect the settler
home. Though this case is exceptional
in many respects, yet the proposed inter
vention of the government IN the settlers
behalf IN court Is a novelty, and if the
course recommended by the commissioner
is adopted, similar Intervention may be
asked in a great number of cases.
Commissioner Sparks in his annual report,
called the attention of congress to the fact
that a great many instances had come 70 his
knowledge IN which the railroads have pur-
sued settlers in the courts after unsuccessful
contests with them before the interior de
partment and have by threatened prOtracted
ar I costly litigation forced them to buy the
lands anew.
